A Great Wagon by Rumi

When I see your face, the stones start spinning!
You appear; all studying wanders.
I lose my place.

Water turns pearly.
Fire dies down and doesn't destroy.

In your presence I don't want what I thought
I wanted, those three little hanging lamps.

Inside your face the ancient manuscripts
seem like rusty mirrors.

You breathe; new shapes appear;
and the music of a desire as widespread
as spring begins to move
like a great wagon.

Drive slowly. Some of us
walking alongside are lame.
